The easiest way to describe Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) is that it’s like a GPS for indoor environments.
IPS can be used to locate people or objects inside buildings, typically via a mobile device such as a smart phone or tablet.
Although the technology is newer than GPS, services that leverage IPS are quickly gaining traction in places like shopping malls, hospitals, airports and other indoor venues where navigation and other location-based services can prove to be indispensable.
